cars, all-terrain vehicles and vintage cars. All you need is paper
and a pencil. As you follow the step-by-step instructions to
reproduce the examples on your own paper, you will soon see how
much your drawing skills are improving. Once you reach the final
stage you can refine your drawing with highlights and shading, and
add details of the surroundings to bring your drawing to life. For
those who aspire to larger formats, realistic finishing touches
such as tyre profiles, wheel rims and headlamps will help you

Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out
her life.
Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him.
It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and
younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student;
brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor
loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any
relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to
count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it
clear that he wants her gone from his life.
But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot
twists.
When Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor
end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week.
There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious
foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding
something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out
of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she
needs - even if it's a problematic one.
